Abstract (en)

The invention relates to an apparatus for accumulating natural energy, such as wind energy, or energy produced by waves in the sea or in lakes and further comprises means for converting the accumulated energy into electrical power. Large containers are filled with water and thereafter powered by natural energy sources transported to a higher level. Thereafter the liquid in the container is conducted to a lower place in order to be used for generating electrical power. <IMAGE>
